I would like to know about your involvement in a police accredited persons scheme.

I would like to know –

1. The number of council staff who are accredited persons, and the powers they hold;

2. Any records you hold on the activities of these accredited persons, including:
- any fines they have issued (if possible, please give annual figures broken down by offence);
- the number of incidents of alcohol confiscation.
It is part of the conditions of the accredited persons scheme that you keep records of this kind.

I wish to acknowledge receipt of your attached request for information.

I have asked the relevant officers of the Authority to commence enquiries immediately to find all applicable information relating to your request under the FOI Act and to supply any which is found to me.

Your request has to be processed within a maximum of 20 working days, which means the Council must provide you with the information it has (assuming no exemptions are claimed) by 27.04.2012. If it is possible to provide you with the information within a shorter timescale then that will be done.

Should you have any queries about this matter please don’t hesitate to contact me.
